Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A powerful World War II novel about a young soldier joining the anti-German resistance in occupied Italy, this classic, which touches on everything from wartime dangers and adventures to desperate love, is regarded as one of the greatest works of twentieth-century Italian literature.Beppe Fenoglio's A Private Affair is one of the great books of the Second World War and a masterpiece of modern Italian literature. Milton is the nom de guerre of the book's protagonist, a one-time student of English literature who, in the chaotic last years of the war, has joined a partisan band. Before the war, gangly Milton was in love with the beautiful Fulvia-she let him read poetry to her- and now he hears that a friend and fellow partisan, the handsome Giorgio, was sleeping with her at the time. Jealous and furious, Milton hastens to confront Giorgio, only to discover that he has been captured by the Germans. A Private Affair tells the story of Milton's mad quest-pursued through mud and fog and rain and terror, while barely evading German and fascist patrols-to rescue his friend and settle a personal grudge from a lost world of peace. Italo Calvino praised the book for the "geometric tension" between its themes of love and war and for its unsettling and utterly persuasive mingling of absurdity and mystery. The British novelist Paul Bailey has called the novel's closing pages "superb and superbly exciting." A Private Affair is a peerless story of the violent heart and world.

«Un asunto privado está construido con la geométrica tensión de una novela de locura amorosa y de persecuciones caballerescas como el Orlando furioso, y al mismo tiempo está la Resistencia como era de verdad, por dentro y por fuera, como nunca fue explicada, conservada largos años limpiamente por una memoria fiel, con todos sus valores morales, tanto los más intensos cuanto los más implícitos, y con la conmoción, y con la furia. Y es un libro de paisajes, y es un libro de figuras fugitivas y vivaces, y es un libro de palabras precisas y certeras. Y es un libro absurdo, misterioso, en el que se persigue algo para perseguir otra cosa, y esa otra cosa para perseguir otra, y en el que nunca se alcanza el verdadero porqué.» (Italo Calvino) En plena guerra -1944-, entre las colinas de las Langhe, un asunto privado empuja al partisano Milton a abandonar su puesto y perseguir entre la niebla, la lluvia, el barro y las partidas fascistas la verdad sobre la traición de su inconsistente amada, Fulvia, en una suerte de heroicidad solitaria y de ciega irresponsabilidad de graves consecuencias colectivas. Calificado de «escritor aislado», Beppe (Giuseppe) Fenoglio (1922-1963) no tuvo una carrera literaria fácil. Marcado por la experiencia de la lucha antifascista en los montes de las Langhe (1944), en 1949 rechazan su primera obra, Racconti della guerra civile. En 1952 Elio Vittorini le publica los cuentos I ventitrè giorni della città di Alba para Einaudi. Tibiamente acogidas por la crítica su traducción de la Balada del viejo marino de Coleridge y su novela corta La malora, publica en 1959 la novela Primavera di bellezza (premio Prato en 1960). En 1962 recoge el premio Alpi Apuane por el cuento Ma il mio amore è Paco. En la noche del 17 al 18 de febrero de 1963 fallece en Turín de un cáncer de pulmón. En el mismo 1963 aparece Una questione privata, al decir del crítico Giulio Ferroni «la obra más perfecta y más lograda de Beppe Fenoglio».

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. 2ème Édition. 224 pages, dans la collection "Letteratura", traduction de l'italien par Monique Baccelli. Quatrième de couverture : "Résistant, comme poète, est un mot absolu, écrivit un jour Beppe Fenoglio, qui se rêvait soldat dans l'armée idéale de Cromwell, avec la Bible dans sa musette et son fusil en bandoulière et qui dut en partage affronter la sordide réalité du fascisme. Au croisement de l'autobiographie, du témoignage et de l'aventure romanesque, "Le Printemps du guerrier", livre d'hommes et de paysages en guerre, relate avec une exigence morale sans faille et à travers les nobles yeux de Johnny - jeune recrue piémontaise - la déroute pathétique de l'armée royale italienne ; le gris-vert de l'occupation allemande et les rumeurs du débarquement allié ; Rome ville ouverte, Mussolini à Salò et le maquis pour la Résistance. Beppe Fenoglio est né à Albe (Piémont) en 1922. C'est dans cette région que "le plus solitaire de nous tous", comme le désignait Calvino, écrira les trois romans publiés de son vivant - Les "Vingt-trois jours de la ville d'Albe", "Le Mauvais sort" et "Le Printemps du guerrier". Il meurt prématurément à l'âge de 41 ans. Son oeuvre, largement posthume, est aujourd'hui considérée comme l'une des plus importantes de la littérature italienne d'après-guerre.". Livre.
